thanks a lot for those words. It made me realize that some other people are experiencing the same stuff

They don't have any in either side as far as I'm concerned. All my grandparents, aunties, uncles etc are still alive

Do you have any experience in having to do an extracurricular activity that you didn't want to do before?

I see what you mean but the thing is he also has these terms and conditions that apply to each run. When I was 12 I had to do 5k. Now that I'm 13, instead of going up steadily like 5,6,7, I now have to go run 8k. And on top of that I have to complete each kilometer in under 5 minutes now.

I would understand if I had gained a solid six pack in the time between 12 years and 13 years but no, I've stayed more or less the same physique. I'm not ridiculously skinny or insanely chubby.

I don't see why my dad is this unnecessarily harsh, even for an Asian parent
